We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Gua Musang in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
