If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Kenai. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
