We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Georges Island in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
