We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Ulen in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
