We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Brech in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
