We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Mabalacat City in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
