- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
