Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fenyuan could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
