- Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
