- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
