- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
