We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Lake Geneva in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs 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 hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
