Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Tubang vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
