We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Kaba in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
