Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Centenary could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
