If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Little London. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
