We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Merlo in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
