Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Nong Khae could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
