Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Antwerp could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
