- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
