- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
