No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Meishan holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive 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 goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fibre clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
