Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Ernfold vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
