Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tiong Bahru Estate could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
