Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Turtle Lake could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
