If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Groemitz. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
