We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Barrabup in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
