Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pierz could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks may also help.
