Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Trom Phrai could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
