Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to De Heen could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
