We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Agistri in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
