"he was banned from travelling" is the most appropriate.

banned = he drank too much in an airplane, assaulted an airhostess, so the judge banned him from travelling in airplanes.
forbidden = he has a serious heart condition so his doctor forbade him from travelling until he is better...
if i �m wrong please let me know ;-)

Two excellent answers, but one little problem remains. A person would be "forbidden to" travel, not "forbidden from" travelling.
