Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Haidong vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
