Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Wulong holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
