Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mulkeytown could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
