Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sihu could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
