- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
