- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
