- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
