We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Hakuraa Huraa in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
