Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Tobonga vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
