We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Loxton in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
