No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well organised. We’ve compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Jeju City escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
