No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Berdorf escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
