Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Taungoo escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
