We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Nong O in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
