Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Copperville could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
