Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Huai So vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
