- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
