We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Kampung Asing in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
