We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and discovering Kuytun in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
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. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
