Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Chungyang escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
