We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Tibasosa in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
