Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Jiuzhaigou County holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
