  • Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a sweater in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
