- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
