- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh 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 guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
