Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Kirima holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
