- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
