- Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
