We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Tanah Rata in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
