We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Abay in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
