- A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
