If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your time in Malmedy. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume 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 opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
