We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Willemstad in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
