Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Thung Prang could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
