If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your holiday in Stolpe. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
