  • First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
