Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Hanhofen vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
