Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Curio Bay could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, 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 changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
