Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Purbalingga holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
