Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kavaratti could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
