Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Noen Hom could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
