Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tumpat could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
