Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
