- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
