No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Kvareli escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, 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 prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
