No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Stansstad holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
