- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
