Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Ulaan Chab holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
