We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Motopi in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted 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:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
