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 having a blast in Kampung Teluk Bedara in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
