We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Moya before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
