No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Up Mung escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, 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:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
