If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Chyne.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
