Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kingston could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
