- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
