Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Affoltern im Emmental escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
