Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Drysdale River could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
