What you should definitely have with you when flying!
One thing right away, that the switched-on cell phone disturbs the on-board electronics is one of the many myths when flying. Even if the flight crew asks right at takeoff to turn off cell phones during the flight, it does not pose an immediate danger. In fact, cell phones in close proximity can interfere with the pilots' radio communications with the tower, and of course, talking on the phone in the plane disturbs fellow passengers and the crew. Your switched-on cell phone does not pose any safety hazard, nor does a hearing aid on the plane interfere with any electronic devices. You should always have them with you, because you want to hear all the announcements of the captain and all the instructions of the flight crew. Pay attention to your health on the plane, have your medication with you in your hand luggage, so you always have it with you even if you have to wait longer for your suitcase at the destination airport or - even worse - if the suitcase doesn't show up at all. On long flights, always make sure that you move your legs sufficiently and wear support stockings. If you are prone to thrombosis, consult your doctor before you travel to see if it makes sense to take an anti-thrombosis medication as a preventive measure. Also reserve a seat that allows you to stretch out your legs. We'll tell you which ones in a special post. Meanwhile, you can also equip your luggage with a tracking device; with an airtag in your suitcase, you can find out exactly where your luggage is.
Many a funny thing about flying also results from what is not allowed on board, silicone gel inserts are also subject to the 100 ml rule for hand luggage, many a push-up bra had to be left behind for this reason at the security check.
