No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Sea View holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
