- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
