- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
