Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Vierhuizen could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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 authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
