Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. We’ve made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Jagersrust vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
