Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Enkhuizen holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
