No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Brownsweg holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
