- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols 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:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
