If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Pailin. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
