We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Sasstown before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
