We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Ventron in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
