Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Jailolo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
