- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
