We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Minabe in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
