Do you have any tips for my flight to Lake Okataina?

  • Wherever your journey is taking you, flying can be a great experience if you’re properly prepared. Firstly, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, throw in some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. The latest bestseller and a tablet filled with your favorite series are some fantastic options. If you want to nap, a blow-up neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones are also worth packing.
  • There’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between carriers. Generally, avoid carrying anything explosive, sharp or flammable. This includes things like razor blades, utility knives, flares and aerosol cans. Sports equipment like baseball bats, ski poles and objects that could harm passengers, such as batons and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren’t designed for a fashion show. Layer up with comfortable clothes and pack a pullover as it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Sneakers or other closed-toe shoes are the best type of footwear for longer journeys.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Wandering up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Lake Okataina?
Scoring a cheap, last-minute flight to Lake Okataina is as simple as being flexible with your travel plans.
