If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Dandong.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
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 bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.
