We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Mt. Pleasant in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
