Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Khek Noi could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
