- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
