We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Kijal in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
