In order to avoid dehydration, it is a good idea to drink plenty of fluids before, during and after the flight. Caffeine and alcohol should be avoided. Hot and cold water and coffee are available at the small onboard galleys. There are no in-flight meals, therefore it is suggested that you bring your own food. Third, it can become quite cold in the cabin, so dress warmly.
Natural fibers work best, like cotton and wool.
There is NO smoking allowed in the KAO, or its hangar at any time. One day before flight there will be a briefing for all of those who will be onboard the KAO, given by the Mission Director. Safety and weather will be discussed. After the briefing, everyone will be taken to the KAO to set up and test oxygen masks and other flight equipment. Everyone on the flight is responsible for his or her own oxygen mask and communications equipment testing.
