- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
