We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Kittanning in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
