We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Karrum in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
