We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Sursee in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
