We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Sarnen in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
