We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Gulmit in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
