We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Oilton before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
