- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
