Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Kollerschlag vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper 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:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
