- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
