We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Oosterhout in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
