If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Henning.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
