If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Kargong. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
