We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Glen Innes before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a jacket in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
