Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Kestell escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
