Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Seomyeon escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
