Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Boshoven could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
