We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Oceania del Polonio in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take 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 sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, 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 airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
