Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Tampin holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.
