Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Heilbron escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
