We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Kasaba Bay in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
