We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Marcana in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
