Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Schinveld could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
