If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your time in Neijiang. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
