No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Schaffhausen vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
