We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Grover in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready 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 in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
