- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
