Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hoofddorp could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
