- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
