Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Xinfeng could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
