We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Wanrong in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
