- The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
