We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Beaudesert in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
