If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Kampung Bagan Lalang. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
