No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Kamma vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
