Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bowen could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
