- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
