Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Lakes Entrance holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
