- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
