No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Kuznik holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
