- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
