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 hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Lam Hoei in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
