No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Zutphen holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack 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) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
