Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Senftenberg could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
