No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Kingori holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
