Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Tulungagung holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
