We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Kingsbridge in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
