Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lanne could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
