We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Tenby in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
