If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Kampung Repek.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
