Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Genderkingen escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
