Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Thai Dong could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
