Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Tokoriki Island escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
