Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Annam-ri escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
