- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
