- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
