Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.

The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
