Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pago Pago could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
