Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Surin holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
