- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
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, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
