Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Chiang Dao could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach 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:
- Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
