If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Brown's Town. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
