Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Arlon could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
