- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
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 or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
