We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Qingdao in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
