Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Witmarsum vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
