Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Kaben holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
