- The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze 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 airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
