Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Naena-ri escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
