We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Phu Loc in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
