Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Semonkong could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy --- first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
