Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Shihezi could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
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 one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
