Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Khlong Wan escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
