We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Kundur before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
