We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Kabale before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, 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:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
