Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tuk Tuk could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
