We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be speeding through airport security and exploring Busselton in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
