We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Kas in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
