Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Mong Phoui vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
