- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
