Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Kasanga vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
