Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Leiten could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
