- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
