Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Port Augusta escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
