If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in So Y Ping. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
