Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lamma Island could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
