- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
