We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Les Deux Alpes before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
