Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Lvliang escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
