No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Kun'kino escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
