Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Point Samson could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
