Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
