- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial 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 guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
