If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Kiwengwa.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
