No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Altdorf holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
