Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Vlissingen holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
