Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Boskoop could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
