- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
