If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Kerki. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
