Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will get your Càng Long escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
