We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Chalong in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
