- It’s easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
