Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well organised. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Champasak escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
