Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Stiens could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
