Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kenai could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
