Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to K. Mae Poen could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
