Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kakarvitta could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
