Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Kakana escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
