- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
