We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Ayr before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
