We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Jonesboro in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
