- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
