We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Hung Yen in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
