Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Khlong Khut escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
