Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive.

What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
