No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Baoting holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
