We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Ruiru before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
