We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Alt Kentzlin in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
