Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ranfurly could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set 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 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
