Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Beurizot could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
