Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kampung Parit Jerman could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
