We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Karimui before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
