Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Minnedosa escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
