We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Oyo in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
