We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Doom Dooma in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
