No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Co Ong escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
