We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Roper in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
