Lastly, a few tasty snacks and a neck pillow will help make the journey as comfy as possible.
  • It also pays to check with your airline regarding what you can’t bring on board your flight. Box cutters, utility knives, razor blades and swords are among the prohibited items. Anything flammable, explosive or sharp is generally not allowed in your carry-on baggage. Be sure to pack any sports equipment like tennis rackets or baseball bats only in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling short or long-haul, layering up is key to staying comfortable. Wear loose, breathable fabrics that will keep you fresh and pack a pullover to cope with any in-flight temperature variations. Keep your feet happy in a pair of closed-toe shoes or sneakers.
  • The condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Strolling up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression socks or tights also helps to lessen your risk.
