- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
