- First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you’ll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
