We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Old Orchard Beach before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
