We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Faizabad in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
