Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bauska could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
