- Flying can be a pleasure if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable 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 long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
