- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
