We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Sandouping in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
