We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Crawford in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
