Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pa Klok could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged 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.
