Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Elmenteita escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
