- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
