Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Schwyz escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
