Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Phon Thong could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
