Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Coal Stream could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
