Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Fuyang holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
