Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kosta could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
