We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Chinle before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare 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 quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
