Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Chiang Kham holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
