- Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.
