No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Kampung Air Putih vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
