We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Warangal in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
