- The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
