Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Hue escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
