Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Kangari escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
