Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Swan River could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.
