If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Dragey-Ronthon.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
