If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Kasansay.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
