If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Magglingen. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
