We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Daxing in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
