Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kalapara could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
