Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Abtwil vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
