- A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
