If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in Shangrao.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
