Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sumber could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
