- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
