Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Delkenheim escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
