- A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
