Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Grums could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
