If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Chaung Thar. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
