Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Amanu could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
