- The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
