  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Valletta?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Valletta, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
