If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Koewacht.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
