Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Lake Bunga escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
