No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Gunnedah vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers 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 long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
