- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
