If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your time in Kokstad. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
