We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Pulau in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
