Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Murchison could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
