We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Oakley in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
