Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mudanjiang could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
