Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Taishan could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
