If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in Pella. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
