Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Chaiyaphum holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
