Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kivalina could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
