Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Mrauk-U escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
