If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Yanqing.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
