Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Kabin Buri holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
