- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
