Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Parit Buntar holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
