We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Sumperk in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
