Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Xuchang could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
