We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Daqing before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling 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 pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
