Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pojan could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
