Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Murchison could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
