No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Bumi Hills holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
