Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Massey could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
