After that, think about downloading a few movies on your tablet or phone for a guiltless binge session. Or, throw in that juicy novel you’ve been itching to read. Lastly, a snack or two and a soft neck pillow will help make the trip as comfy as possible.
  • You’ll also want to check with your airline regarding what you can’t take on board your flight. Swords, batons, box cutters, razor blades and knives are among the prohibited items. Anything flammable, sharp or explosive is generally not allowed in your hand baggage. Don’t forget to pack any sports equipment like ski poles or baseball bats only in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren’t designed for a fashion parade. Layer up in comfy, loose-fitting clothing and pack a hoodie since it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are best for longer journeys.
  • Lessen your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for long periods of time, by regularly moving around the cabin. Alternatively, do some gentle lower limb exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks or tights.
