Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve made a list of top travel tips that will get your Koh Tao escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
