No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Kuala Rompin holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
