No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Kluang escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
