- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
