If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Wolsan-ri. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
