We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Maehwa-ri in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents 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 layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
