- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
