No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve made a list of handy hints that will help get your Lang Suan escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
