Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Disentis holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- 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 or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
