Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Gorinchem escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
