Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Stetten vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
