Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Azewijn could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
