No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Großlittgen escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
