We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Surang in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
