- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
