- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
