- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
