No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Dohna vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
