If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Burgberg.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a pullover in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
