If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your holiday in Kasama. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
