If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Darnetal.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
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 screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
