Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pingelly could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries 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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
