Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Burrup could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
