We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Wangi-Wangi in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
