Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lismore could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
