- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
