No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Imari holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
