Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Xilin Gol could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.
