Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kuala Tahan could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
