- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
