No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re prepared. We’ve made a list of handy hints that will help get your Kulusuk holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
