Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pilgersdorf could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, 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 of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
