If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Kwanam.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and take a sweater in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
