We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Kalpa in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
