Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Susten could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
