Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to St. Arnaud could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
