Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Westkapelle escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
