Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Amdo County escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended 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 improve your circulation.
