Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Paraparaumu could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
