No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Hohhot holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
