We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Reine before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
