- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
