- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
