If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in Whakatane. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
