Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Honghe could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
