If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Huxi. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
