We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Tkibuli in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
