Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Kuty escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
