We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Apore before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
