Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Brinchang holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
