Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Karawang could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
