- A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
