Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to St. Christoph could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
