If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Batu Rakit. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
