Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Kalivianí escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
