We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Kaeo in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
