Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Chai Badan holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
