Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kingston could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
