- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
