- A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
