We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Bunda before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
