Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Kuching could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
