Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Dirang could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
