- A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
