If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Chugchilan. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
