No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Bingjianting escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack 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 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
