Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Fanning Island escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
