- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
