- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
