- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
