1. drink like a Chinese pilot and opt for a half-and-half mix of
orange and tomato juice, with a splash of hot sauce. Not
only is it supposed to be good for the skin, but it adds an
extra boost of vitamin C, ahead of any regular old juice.
3. To prevent jetlag, resist the urge to put your sunglasses on
until 48 hours after a long-haul flight. Don’t stop natural
light reaching your retinas – it will mess with your head.
4. Watch for surcharges. VAT might be 10%, but then there’s
the 6% extra for the pool boy to deliver your drink.
5. Tea is king in China. Therefore, there will be some areas
(such as Sanya) in which you will struggle to find a decent
coffee – your best bet will be McDonald’s. If in doubt, hold
off on the milk, too. It’s often UHT.
6. don’t take your power banks in your carry-on. You are
likely to lose these ‘unsuitable items’ at the security check
in Guangzhou.
7. dreamliner is more than just a catchy name. The
China Southern Airlines flight, direct from Christchurch to
Guangzhou, uses this type of plane (also known as a Boeing
787) and its fancy air-filtration system makes the in-flight
conditions friendlier on your skin.
