- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
