- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
