We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Mazeri in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
