Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Waengle could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
