If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Macau. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh 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 baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
