Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Xiji County escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
