Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Oldeberkoop vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable 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:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
