Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chiang Khan could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
