Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Kyaikto holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel 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 best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
