- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs 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) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
