- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
