Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Osu escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set 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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
