Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Versmold could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
