We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Kahone in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach 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:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
