Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Sokcho escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights may also help.
