- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
