We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Beaudean in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
