We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Gay in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
