We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Sumundong in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
