- First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
