Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kafue could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
