Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kaiteriteri could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
