If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Bukit Rambai. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
