No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ernolsheim-Bruche escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
