We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Stansstad in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul 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 tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
