Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Klosters-Serneus holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
