Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kiweni could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
