No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Tsetserleg escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
