- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
