No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Sattendorf vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks may also help.
