Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Piti could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
