Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Emmen could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring 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 airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
