No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Petersbach vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
