- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
