If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your time in Kutaisi.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
