No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Bonghwa holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
