No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Kaiyuan escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
