Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kangnam could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
