Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Arkaroola could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
