  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
