We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Poio in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, 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 feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
