We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in San Bartolo in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
