Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your Lauchringen holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
