We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Steenwijk in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
