We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Pine Ridge in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
