- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
