We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Wundanyi before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
