- The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
