If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Tulun. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
