We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Tronadora in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
