We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Bayankhongor in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
