- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
