Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Fitzroy Crossing escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
