- First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
