Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mount Victory could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
