Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well organized. We’ve compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Thomastown vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
