- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
