Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sixes could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat 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. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
