- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
