- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
