We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Apollo Bay before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
