Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Beechworth escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
