If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Jenjarom.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
