We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Huruelhi Island in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
