Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Choibalsan escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
