- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
