Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Koun Mom escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
