Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Chek Lap Kok could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
