- A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
