• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
