Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kaya could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
