We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Zhuzhou in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
