Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Suan could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items 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 hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
