We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Covina in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack 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) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
