Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Yogyakarta holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you’ll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
