Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Baschurch holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes 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 in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
