If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Kouei Miau.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
