If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Krui. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
