No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Buon Ma Thuot escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
