Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Miranda could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
