- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
