No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Goschen escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
