- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
