- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
