Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kitwe could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
