- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
