Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Yichun escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
