Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Lanyu escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
