Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Volkholz could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown 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 conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
