Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Minheim vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
