Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Kuaiya holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
