If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Khuan Khanun.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
