Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Chak Si holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
