Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ca Mau could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- 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 lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
