We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Oosterbeek before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
