Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Egmond aan Zee escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.
