We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Lat Bua Luang in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.
