- Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
