Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Papakura holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
