We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Wiluna in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
