- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
