We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Lozenets in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
