Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gia Nghia could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fibre clothing and bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
