Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy hints that will get your Kabetogama vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
