We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Newquay in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
