Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fuzhou could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
