No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Siming vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
