We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Tutukaka in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
