Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pinnaroo could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
