If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Oudsbergen. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
