Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Warfhuizen vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
