No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Tha Li vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
