WHAT TO PACK IN YOUR CARRY-ON LUGGAGE

Tip: Don't forget to seal all liquids, aerosols, and gels in a see-through bag for when you pass through the security check, and no single container larger than 100 mls.

The Essentials

PASSPORT

You won't get far without it, and make sure it's valid for at least six months beyond the date when you plan to return home.

WALLET, CASH, CREDIT CARDS
Wallet, cash, credit cards. Minimum two cards that will allow you to access cash overseas.

ITINERARY

All your travel information with flight, hotel and car reservations plus all other documents. You may need to show these when you enter another country.

PEN
For filling out immigration and customs forms.

MEDICATION

Daily medications and vitamins. Anything you might need to take daily, plus any prescription meds.

To make things more comfortable

EYE DROPS
Aircraft cabins are low humidity environments and eye drops are soothing balm for that scratchy, red-eye feeling.

EYE MASK
Your own personal dark space for that refreshing power nap.

HAND SANITISER
Even if the aircraft looks clean, give yourself a squirt before meals.

FACE WIPES
A little in-seat self pampering goes a long way.

HEADPHONES

Noise-reducing cut aircraft noise to a whisper, but even the in-ear items provide a quality listening experience. You might need an adapter to fit the on-board entertainment system outlet port.

TOILETRIES

Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant and moisturiser. Whatever you need to get you through an overnight stay.

CHARGER AND ADAPTER PLUG

 Keep the juice flowing to those vital electronics.

SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR
