No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will get your Liebersee vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
