If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Kandersteg.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
