We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Holden in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
