Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mok Cham Pae could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
