  • It’s easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours.

Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be the goal when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
