Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Ange holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
