- A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged 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 improve your circulation.
