If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Jinzhong. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready 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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
