- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
