Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sunburg could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
