  • First, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
