Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Kinka Beach escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
