Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your 108 Mile Ranch holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy 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.
