Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Agou could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
