We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Yarmouth before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
