- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
