- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
