We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Karatu in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
