If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Kampung Rama.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
