No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Cam Ranh holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
